My Google Scholar h-index just reached 100! 🙂
My first paper was in 1999, and behind these 100 are students and collaborators in academia and industry, plus the open-source community and challenges.
This number is really yours. Thank you all! 🙏

Accepted to ICML! See y’all in Korea 🇰🇷
What if you had nano-banana for audio?
AudioChat is a multi-modal LM that performs fine-grained understanding, generation, and editing of multi-source scenes
By diffusing continuous latents, it generates 48khz stereo edits with great input adherence:

This is exactly the reason we worked for ESPnet-Codec, but being really hard to keep tracking as people are fast nowadays.
The similar issue happens at most speech tasks from ASR, TTS, to general speech LLM. It's a bit sad time for driving scientific findings 🥲

Speech isn’t just sound -> it’s how we turn thought into expression.
Our new work, Speech-DRAME, measures how well speech AI can act, aligning evaluation with human perception.
